SUMMARY:Cartoonists\, the Socialist Press and the Miners' Strike: South Yorkshire Festival
DESCRIPTION:Nick Jones\, the former BBC Industrial Correspondent who covered the 1984-85 miners’ strike\, is speaking at the South Yorkshire Festival on Sunday 10 August in the Unison Room at 2.00pm. The topic is Cartoonists\, the Socialist Press and the Miners’ Strike.  \n\n\n\nHe will be talking about how cartoonists from the left press – Labour Weekly\, Morning Star\, Militant\, Socialist Worker and Newsline – tried to boost support during the strike and fight back against the highly paid cartoonists of the Conservative press. \n\n\n\nNick Jones is the author of The Art of Class War: Newspaper Cartoonists and the 1984-85 Miners’ Strike. He drew on his huge archive of newspapers from the strike to collect hundreds of cartoons which appear in the book. The archive has now been donated to Sheffield University\, which also has Arthur Scargill’s. \n\n\n\nNick Jones believes that the work of cartoonists produced for these socialist publications was widely admired within the labour and trade union movement and many were reproduced on posters. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJane Ingham will also be speaking at the Wortley Hall event about the recently published book Need Not Greed\, a collection of cartoons by Alan Hardman for Militant. Alan was born in Barnsley into a mining family and was proud of his Yorkshire roots. He trained as a lithographic printer\, completing a six-year apprenticeship in Barnsley. But his real skill lay in the political cartoons he regularly produced for Militant conveying quick\, simple messages on political and trade union topics.  \n\n\n\nBoth Need Not Greed and The Art of Class War will be on sale at the public meeting organised by the Campaign for Press and Broadcasting Freedom (North). Admission is free. \n\n\n\n                                                    -ends- \n\n\n\nFor further information or to interview the speakers\, contact Granville Williams 07790958270 or email cpbfnorth@outlook.com

SUMMARY:Why the cultural sector needs trade unions
DESCRIPTION:This half-day event will explore the vital role of trade unions in the cultural and creative industries. Aimed at freelancers and employees working across Yorkshire in sectors such as visual arts\, theatre\, music\, film\, broadcast\, journalism\, museums and galleries\, this session brings together major unions including Equity\, The Musicians’ Union\, Bectu\, Artists’ Union England\, National Union of Journalists\, and The Writers’ Guild of Great Britain. \n\n\n\nTrade unions are an important force in the workplace\, with members of a trade union usually having better pay and conditions than non-unionised workplaces. Several trade unions represent workers in the cultural and creative sector – come and meet them and discuss what they have achieved and how they work for members. \n\n\n\nThis event will cover: \n\n\n\n\nWhat a trade union is and which unions represent creative and cultural workers\n\n\n\nHow joining a trade union can make a difference\n\n\n\nThe benefits of union membership\n\n\n\nUnderstanding contracts\n\n\n\nWorking together and taking collective action\n\n\n\n\nParticipants will learn about the trade union most relevant to them and their work\, and there will be a short presentation from each union\, followed by a roundtable discussion and an opportunity for 1:1 advice sessions.
